My First Yong Shou t'ien Snuff Bottle


One bottle that I stumbled upon by total chance while searching eBay one early morning.. This Middle Period Yong Shou t'ien style bottle was posted under an off the wall bottle category. I stumbled upon it just as it was listed with a "buy it now" option for 30.00. I stumbled through the keys on my keyboard as I could not complete the buying process fast enough ! This was my first super nice Middle Period bottle, and was so excited that woke my girlfriend up to share in my excitement !

This warrior scene, although unsigned is most likely painted by Yong Shou t'ien. This is his style as well as he liked to paint larger bottles like this 3 1/2" tall amber.
